War News.
September 9th, 1915.
Washington :Secretary
Daniels announced a general
re-organization of the forces
of the naval academy. The
heads of nearly all depart-
ments who have been on du-
ty for two years or more have
been ordered detatched for
duty elsewhere.
New York: Bernstorff,
German1 Ambassador, has re-
ceived a despatch saving that
it is improbable that the
Hesperian was torpedoed and
that it is more probable that
the vessel struck a mine.
Berlin :The commander
of the submarine which tor-
pedoed the Arabic reports
that it was done in the be-
lief that the Arabic was
about to attack the subma-
rine.
London:-Ten were killed
and forty six wounded (lur-
ing a raid by three Zeppelins
over the Fast coast on Tues-
day night.
Petrograd :Emperor Ni-
cholas has transferred Grand
Duke Nicholas, head of the
Russian army, to the Cauca-
sus where operations are
comparatively unimportant.
He has made the duke Vice
roy of the Caucasus and com-
mander of the southern front.
The emperor himself has
assumed supreme command
of naval and military forces.
Quecnstown : The fact is
established that the Hespe-
rian carried a mounted gun.
London :General Joffre
is back in France. The gen-
eral belief is that the Allies
will make a concerted move
against the Teutons within a
short time.
A German submarine is
reported as having torpedoed
two ships off the French
coast. The ships lost were
the steamer Guatemala and
Carony. The crews were
saved.
Amsterdam : The report
that .Admiral Von Tirpitz
intended to resign is denied
by Berlin despatches.
:o:
September oth 1915.
London, 7: The news that
Emperor Nicholas had placed
himself at the head of his army,
which he announced in a tele-
gram to President Poincare of
France, and the visit paid by
General Joffre to the Italian ar-
my foreshadow, it is believed in
military circles here, stirring
events in which the armies of
the Allies will cooperate.
It is declared that the Rus-
sians already are nearly, if not
quite, holding their owo against
the advances of the Auslrians
and Germans, whose advance
at most points has been stopped.
At other places the Russians
are on the offensive
mains the danger point, but the
fact that the Russians continue
to occupy the town after the
Germans have advanced to Dvi-
na, Southeast of Riga, leads
military writers to cone lude that
the Russians feel reasonably
sure of their ability to defend
the River and in time to push
sufficiently Westward to relieve
the pressure on their forces on
the shores of the Gulf of Riga.
Paris, 7:In a message to
President Poincare, Emperor
Nicholas announces that lie ha
placed himself in commanc
all Russian armies. The me
sage was sent from the emperor
residence near Petrograd und.e-
date of September 6th.
London, 7:A OAILY TEL-
EGRAPH despatch from Rot-
terdam says it is freely rumour-
ed in Berlin that the sinking of
the Allan Line steamer Hesperi
an was deliberately designed by
the party of Admiral Von Tir
pitz, German Minister ol Marine
to bring to a climax the differ
ences between Von Tirpitz and
Belman Melwegg, the Imperial
Chancellor, over the las', nat
President Wilson concern
the use of submarines nga
liners.
Liverpool, 7:No submarine
was seen by anyone before the
ship was struck, nor was any
warning given, says an official
statement issued by the Allan
bine regarding the sinking of
the Hesperian.
Brownsville, Texas, 7: It
was announced here toij^rht
that orders will be '^*^I
ing prai lically the entire xtio
"iraude section near Browns
ville under military control.
